![]() I am very focused on the maintenance of our vehicles and expect to get our moneys worth out of them. Still has the original engine, transmission and transaxle. Because of the miles on the GMC it has been a bit more costly to maintain. All have been reliable and worthy vehicles. We have a 2009 Chevy Cobalt coupe as a secondary vehicle as well as a 2005 GMC Sierra 4X4 longbed Pickup with almost 275k miles as a work/tow/haul vehicle. My wife has the 2017 Premier as her daily driver while I'm perfectly happy to have the 2016 LT as my daily driver. The low cost to own and reliability was our main incentive to purchase a second Equinox. We have taken the 2016 LT on most of our roadtrips and it has been outstanding in all weather and road conditions. For whatever reason the 2016 LT feels it has just a tad bit more zip than the 2017 Premier. The 4 cylinder in both provide decent MPG, the only time I miss a V6 is when its fully loaded for road trips thru the mountains. Rear cargo area has the very minimum space we need. Doubtful we will get the same miles on the 18" tires on the Premier, totally different type of Michelin tire but still very capable. Both have Michelin tires and got almost 80k … miles when replaced on the 2016 LT and was surprised how expensive the same tires were to replace. The Premiere has low profile 18" tires so the ride is firmer than the 2016 LT which has standard 17" tires. The Premiere is just a bit fancier with power hatch, leather, both front are full power and driver's side memory, some extra exterior chrome. The only expenses have been normal maintenance. On the positive note, love everything else about my Equinox Premier.īoth vehicles have been very inexpensive to own. ![]() Another problem, GRRRRRR!!!! Yep, call me "One Ina Million", when lighting strikes!☹️ Very disappointed with GM and as for our local Dealership, stupid is what stupid does. The Dealership replaced and fixed it, but dented the upper fender in doing so. And this is what I get?! Also one last note, along with my rear window blowing out, the front window weatherstrip on the lower cowling is/has begun lifting up. Unbelievable! BTW, we paid cash for our Equinox, $34,000. So now what? I drive around in a frozen car that I can't heat or defrost or air condition if need be? The Dealership and GM has no clue when they will resolve this issue. But in the meantime, GM tells the Dealerships NOT TO remove or replace any parts from vehicles until they resolve the issue. It appears that GM is aware of this issue and is trying to resolve the problem. Called Dealership, took it back in and they said "that's strange, we replaced the radio." Who said anything about my radio not working? So after explaining it to them again in detail what was happening, they did a little research. Days later after picking it up, same thing happens again. I took it to our local Chevrolet Dealership and explained to them in detail and even showed them exactly where on the screen where this is/isn't happening. Usually when it's freezing cold and when I need it the most. I cannot see any temperature readings or does any of the temperature/defroster/AC buttons, knobs, lights for seat heaters work. Okay, is it just me and my luck (or should I say unlucky)? Purchased my 2017 Equinox Premier in December 2016, in May of 2018 just out-of-the-blue I get in my car, gently shut my door and BLAM the rear window completely blew out from the inside out! Did GM make good on it, No! Okay now and since September 2018, the monitor screen icons will not read out any of my temperature adjustments. … The bottom of the screen goes completely black except for a few boxes outlined in red and one icon of a car with a simi-circle arrow.
